Here is my definition of rice:

If the parts have some sort of function, then it is not rice.

If you put a supra spoiler on a civic, with a "type R" sticker, "NOS" sticker, sponsor stickers, fart pipe, etc, and the civic is not sponsored, is not type R (which no civic in america is), doesn't have nos, and can't go over 80mph because it's not powerful enough. This my friend is rice, not to mention it is slower then ever because of all the heavy body kits and spoilers and crap they put on.
